As per table 1 , out of 13 patients who tested positive, for COVID 19,
only 2 (15.3%)had lymphopenia and raised NLR more than 8. Thus it is
imperative not to use lymphopenia as a diagnostic marker but our case
series shows that lymphopenia and NLR ratio was highly correlated to
severity of cases. The 2 cases that had NLR of 8 and 12 and associated
lymphopenia less than 1 were associated with increased morbidity and
admission to high dependency unit.
